I have been thinking about the nature of truth and religion for a bit today so I decided I would type out my thoughts and share them. Some folks won't agree with the stuff I want to say and that is of course fine.

Any argument a person of faith chooses to dissprove a True Messenger of God, is just as valid against their chosen Messenger.
